How To Build Muscles?

By Jai Mainer

Can I build muscles?

Building muscles is easy when you have a system. There are three rules on how you to build muscles recovery, nutrition, & intensity. These rules are not in any order but all are very important until its time for that particular topic. Let me explain when it's time to go workout that has to be the main focus of the day and the same goes when its time for nutrition and of course recovery

After reading my article on how to build muscles you'll completely understand what I mean.

Intensity

Okay if your one of those people who network at the gym then you need to step up your intensity. You want the most success for the time put in so stop yapping and start curling. No pain no gain and I mean that literally so go past the burn on every set. Your goal in the gym is too create muscle soreness for the next couple of days on the body part worked.

Nutrition

Ok you hit the gym hard like Arnold in the sixties!! Nutrtion now the most important thing in your life at this point. Drinking A protein shake right after your works well to speed up the recovery process and but it is ideally to slow down the protein breakdown. But it doesn't stop there every three hours you need protein so prepare ahead so you hit your deadline exactly. You never want to go more than three hours without any nutrition or eating that's very very important.

Recovery

Ok your done with your day you worked out hard for an hour, you took your nutrition serious, now the final and very important part to this 3 headed attack on how to build muscles r. Recovery... people listen up you don't build any muscle in the gym not one little fiber or strand. You build during your rest period when you go to sleep. Now those who cut corners on sleep are cutting your progress back at least by 30%. Just think about it if you work a regular job and workout you need sleep to repair if you don't you won't grow.

Look people I've been working out for 22 years and I know a thing or two on how to build muscles. Remember its easy intensity, nutrition, recovery that's how you build muscles. - 17268

Better Sleep with a Natural Antiviral

By Robert Martin

In a recent study, polyDNA interviewed people who were taking the antiviral supplement Gene-Eden for a few weeks. The objective was to collect data about their physical reactions to the supplement. The result of analysis was surprising. It showed that the participants were experiencing better, more refreshing sleep, compared to the time prior to taking the supplement.

Natural antiviral and sleep?

Although mostly unknown by the general public, many recent studies showed that an infection with a chronic virus can cause sleeping problems, and that antiviral medications can solve these problems. For instance, a study conducted by Professor Jose G. Montoya and a team of scientists from the School of Medicine at Stanford University, demonstrated the effectiveness of the antiviral drug valganciclovir. In the study, the scientists gave the drug to participants with both sleeping problems and a high concentration of chronic viruses. The results showed that after taking the drug, 75% of the participants experienced much better sleep.

How are these studies related to Gene-Eden?

Gene-Eden is a natural, broad range, antiviral dietary supplement that targets many common viruses during their latent or chronic phase. Some of these viruses include the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Herpes Simplex virus (HSV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Varicella Zoster virus (VZV), Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).

The Gene-Eden formulation includes five natural ingredients. To identify these ingredients, the scientists at polyDNA used a unique process. First, they collected thousands of scientific papers. Then, they analyzed the content of these papers with their in-house, proprietary bio-informatics program. Finally, they used the results of the computer analysis to select the five most powerful, yet safe antiviral ingredients.

Some of the papers that show the powerful antiviral effect of the five ingredients are available on the Gene-Eden website at http://www.gene-eden.com.

In addition, and as would be expected from the scientific process used by the scientists at polyDNA to identify these ingredients, users of Gene-Eden describe great health oriented results.

How is Gene-Eden different from sleeping pills like Ambien or dietary supplements like melatonin?

The Consumer Reports website writes that "Most sleep drugs are supposed to be taken for no longer than two weeks or so, and continued use could lead to serious side effects or dependency; "rebound" insomnia, in which sleeplessness returns and might actually worsen; memory lapses; and hallucinations."

Why do sleeping drugs cause these side effects? Because they change the chemistry in the brain. Sleeping pills induce sleep by creating an artificial chemistry in the user's brain. However, this artificial chemistry is artificial, and therefore, causes serious side effects.

Moreover, the brain is a fast learner. When the brain sees that the new artificial chemistry is the standard chemistry night after night, it adopts. After a short period of time, the brain can no longer fall asleep without the pill. The brain became dependent on the pill.

Unlike these sleeping aids, Gene-Eden targets the chronic viruses found in the body. It targets the cause of the sleeping problems. Gene-Eden does not produce an artificial chemistry in the brain. It recreates the natural, healthy chemistry found in people with little or no chronic viruses, people who experience uninterrupted, refreshing sleep.

Would you like to read more about Gene-Eden? See the "About Sleep" webpage at http://www.gene-eden.com/sleep.htm. Would you like to learn about other dangers associated with chronic viruses? Visit the very interesting web page on the Gene-Eden website that describes the highly acclaimed scientific discovery by Dr. Hanan Polansky on the relationship between chronic viruses and major diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, asthma, cancer, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or even accelerated aging.

Gene-Eden is available on Amazon.com. - 17268

Choosing Between HCG Injections of HCG Drops

By Amelia Handley

Many dieters are choosing to work with HCG in their quest to lose weight. It's not a hard decision. HCG programs offer high average of weight loss; up to 1-2 pounds per day. But even after deciding to use HCG...there's still one more decision to make: injections or drops?

To decide between the two most just need to hold them up side by side and compare. Both offer fantastic weight loss results. There's no difference there. An average of a pound per day and sometimes up to 2 pounds per day are unarguably great results. Some wonder why there are two methods when they offer the same results.

The original plan as introduced by Dr. Simeon used injections. So some say that to follow the diet as prescribed by the creator injections are required. This theory seems silly when you consider that the original program was created over 50 years ago and has since evolved naturally to be as convenient, easy and effective as possible.

Supporters of the injection method claim that the required refrigeration of HCG drops make taking them 3 times per day difficult. But the injections also require refrigeration. And does the hassle of refrigerating your HCG drops really compare to the hassle of shooting a needle into yourself daily?

Supporters of HCG drops suggest that the actual injection alters the "all natural" component of the method. Injections often result in temporary discomfort and bruising. While the drops leave no evidence of having been taken at all and no one can argue that they offer even the slightest pain.

So the question of HCG injections or HCG drops will continue to be thrown about, but the answer is pretty obvious; at least to those of us who see the all natural claims as an important benefit of the program. But whether dieters choose injections or drops doesn't really matter in the long run...the weight will be lost either way and that's the important part. - 17268

Got Massage Chair? A Massage Chair Brings You Solace

By Paula Newberry

Massage therapy has been automated into massage chairs. Massage therapy typically manipulates the soft tissues of the body in order to provide relief and relaxation. Specific movements are used to stretch, pull and massage muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints. These actions are performed with the goal of relieving pain, increasing flexibility and providing overall relaxation. Massage chairs provide a number of different treatment options for the user. All of these are available with the use of massage chairs.

In the beginning, massage chairs were simple devices that used vibration. Vibration is very effective and penetrating through the muscle tissue. This helps to provide deeper relief reducing stiffness.

There are now many different technologies which are contained in a massage chair. They now have the capability to perform whole body massage. At the touch of a button, you can direct exactly where the massage is to concentrate or you can have a full body massage as well.

Many people in the health care industry recognize the importance of massage chair therapy. Massage chairs represent the automation of many routine treatments but remove the variation how about the process. Massage chairs can provide consistent and precise therapy as directed.

A common use of massage chairs is in a chiropractic environment. Chiropractors will manipulate the spine in order to assist in the natural healing process. Before they manipulate the spine, they may warm up the patient and a massage chair. This assists in loosening up the muscles of the back prior to manipulation.

Mechanical systems are used to deliver many different massage techniques. The movement of these systems can be precisely controlled. This enables the medical professional to determine precisely where to locate the massage and select the technique and intensity. This greatly facilitates the consistent application of massage therapy for a patient.

One of the important benefits of a massage chair is that it uses many different massage techniques. Massage chair manufacturers have duplicated many of the most effective massage therapies. These are available as standard features and many massage chairs.

Consistency of delivering massage treatments is one of the major problems in using a human massage therapist. They vary greatly between massages and also between different therapies. Massage chairs, on the other hand, provide consistent and precise massage therapy. This is a big advantage in a medical environment.

Massage chairs also have other treatments in addition to massage therapy. Many massage chairs now also have stretching systems. Stretching systems are available for the lower body and also for the upper body. The massage chair will actually stretch out the legs or may stretch out the arms and shoulders.

In order to receive an effective massage treatment, it is important to relax. When the mind is in a relax state, it releases the tension in the body. This enables the massage therapy to be much more effective. Without the release of tension, the muscles remain tight and resist the penetration of the massage.

Massage chairs also have built-in heating systems. Heaters are located throughout the massage chair. These heaters can be activated to apply heat to a specific area. Heat is effective and reducing swelling and to improve circulation to a specific area.

Massage chair therapy is the automation of massage treatments. The advantages of a massage chair are that they can provide consistent massage pressure for a specific duration. They are programmable and are very repeatable. Human massage is tremendously variable and is not consistent from person to person.

Massage chairs are not limited to just medical environments; they are also available for use in your home or office. They are a great way to provide relaxation and rejuvenation of the body. They provide consistent massage therapy as well as other therapeutic treatment options. - 17268

Effective Muscle Building Techniques for Your Workout

By Larry Floyd

Weight lifting, for it to be useful should include some helpful muscle building techniques. Though you should remember that these techniques cater to experienced body builders who have achieved limits with their workouts. The following techniques are drop sets, super sets and negatives.

The drop set technique involves forcing your body to keep lifting non stop, every time reducing the amount of weight you carry. As an example, you may do some military press at 100 pounds for 10 repetitions and then continue to lift at 90 for 10 reps and so on.

Some even go to the extent of reducing weight until they are just left with the bar. These are of course extreme cases and are only done by experienced body builders. A very efficient muscle building technique.

The next useful technique are supesets. They are essentially two or more workouts performed back to back, targeting opposite muscle groups with no rest between the exercises. Supersets are efficient because they shock your muscles due to the immense amount of effort needed to perform them. This results in a very efficient workout for your muscles.

An example would be performing bicep curls followed by some tricep extensions or bench press followed by some single arm dumbbell row for your back. You could construct your own superset as long as the muscles you are working on are complement of each other.

Negatives are very good for the body. A negative is what most people don't think about when they are weight lifting. When you lift weights and you push the weights away from you, your muscles tighten and do a positive. After you release the weight, you are now doing a negative. What people don't understand is that your muscles are worked out more when you do a negative. This is the reason why I believe negatives as the best muscle building technique. This though makes it the most challenging technique to execute.

To summarize, weight lifting involves some good technique as well as any other sport. You are not limited to the three summarized above but those are what I think the most useful techniques. I wouldn't advise this for beginners as they might be shocked by the amount of effort they require. Nonetheless, you can opt to try the techniques for a day with the help of a trainer and see how your body reacts to the exercise. - 17268

Weight Loss Hormones Exposed

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

When it comes to supplements for weight loss, the selection is quite varied. And the risks are varied as well. And the supplements that can really damage your health can be bought by virtually anybody with an internet connection.

How did this come to be? Well, in the US, the government deregulated the supplement industry and opened the flood gates. And there are also countless companies overseas that specialize in selling extremely powerful hormones that are protected under the umbrella of research use.

Thus without further ado, here are some weight loss hormones exposed:

1. Anabolic steroids. Despite what some people in the medical community say, steroids work. Period. However, they have some very serious consequences. Heavy users experience serious alterations in their endocrine system. They can exhibit deep cognitive changes, liver damage, long term joint degradation, etc.

2. Testosterone precursors. Milder forms of steroids, these supplements were commonly used by athletes under the pretense that they were legal. Well, the government has now banned these supplements but you can still get them online.

3. HGH. Often used in anti aging clinics around the world, human growth hormone truly is the fountain of youth. But if you supplement with it you can get acromegaly, also known as gigantism. Not to mention the unrestrained organ growth.

4. Thyroid boosters. Not too long ago there were some thyroid boosters that hit the market. Anything that stimulates the thyroid will increase metabolism (i.e., calories burned). Unfortunately, such supplements can have dire consequences for the heart.

5. Pills. There are many companies claiming to be able to boost hormone production with their herbal formulations. None of these formulations, however, actually work. You are better served saving your money.

The lack of oversight for supplement companies and companies on the internet has led to a proliferation of dangerous and innocuous products. Now most of the supplements reviewed in this article can seriously damage your endocrine system. So please think twice if you are considering going to the dark side of weight loss. - 17268

The Benefits of Different NO2 Supplements

By Aaron Wilding

NO2 supplements are something you should consider taking if you are trying to build muscle. Combining the right supplements with working out regularly can help you build a great body. There are many different supplements at various prices to suite your budget and work out routine.

NO2 supplements are relatively new to the supplement market, but they have made their mark. The problem is that there are so many on the market today. So let's take a look at some of the more popular ones: NO2 Black, NO2 Platinum, NO-Xplode, and SuperPump250.

NO2 Black by MRI claims to give you the purest arginine, and increases your nitric oxide levels by as much as 950% over arginine derived nitric oxide. It also has alpha-lipoic acid, which helps you boost your insulin levels and nutrition uptake. NO2 black is the NO2 supplement that claims to be the most potent in nitric oxide.

NO2 Platinum by MRI is the one NO2 supplement that was actually tested clinically at Baylor University. This supplement has an extended release nitric oxide generator. It maintains levels of nitric oxide in the plasma in your body, which enhances and prolongs the effect on your muscle composition. This product claims to not only give you greater muscular endurance but also a shorter post-workout recovery time.

BSN Nutrition has a popular product on the market called NO-Xplode. This is the first pre-workout supplement that produces almost immediate results in terms of performance, size, strength, and mental focus. Many users report feeling it working within a matter of minutes. It also has creatine to help build muscle and lean body mass.

Another rather popular product on the market is SuperPump250 by Gaspari Nutrition. This supplement has been tested at different times by two organizations and claims to cause increases in strength and lean mass.

With all the different products on the market, it's hard to say which one is absolutely the best. What you'll want to do is try a few different NO2 supplements to see which one works the best for you. Maybe it's one of the MRI products, or maybe it could be one from Gaspari or BSN Nutrition. Different people experience different things with all of these products, so find the one that works best for you. - 17268

With all the different NO2 supplement products on the market it's hard to know what to try first. A really good place to start is with NO-Xplode by BSN Nutrition. It's a product that a lot of users have reported having great results with.

Information On Food Allergies In Regards To Celiac Disease

By Chris Channing

There are many types of food allergies, and celiac disease stands to be one of them. Celiac disease does not allow a consumer to eat anything containing gluten. If they do, they could seriously damage their digestive system. With training and education, coping with celiac disease isn't at all difficult.

Celiac disease does have some warning signs before it comes into full effect. Children will most likely develop digestive problems, while adults may face a variety of symptoms involving fatigue, aches, and sometimes even sores in the mouth. It's very possible for a victim to not have symptoms until malnourishment sets in, in which time you must see a doctor as the disease has progressed.

There is no definite cure for celiac disease at this current time. However, one can avoid all side effects of the disease and live a normal life by simply avoiding gluten in his or her diet. Gluten is found in grain-based products, and is clearly labeled on foods found in the United States. In some instances other products such as lip stick can contain gluten.

In some rare cases, you may notice that you still have symptoms after first implementing your diet free of gluten. Sometimes it can take a while for all sources of gluten to be evacuated from your system. Other times, you may still be getting a tiny amount of gluten from food sources and you aren't aware of it. You will have to go back and verify all sources of food do not contain gluten if symptoms don't improve.

Wheat, rye, and barley are the major three things a person should not consume. Any products derivative of these three things are also not safe- such as many cereals or bread products. There are substitution ingredients available for every product on the market, you just have to become educated in knowing how to prepare meals with them. Overall, one with a gluten allergy can still consume the foods they like, unlike other allergies that are more restricting on what they can eat.

As a last note, you should remember that celiac disease can be hereditary. This means you could pass the disease onto your children if you yourself have been diagnosed with the disease. If you are found to have celiac disease, all children, siblings, and immediate family should be tested to ensure that they don't have the disease. It's better to be safe than to suffer from malnourishment.

In Conclusion

In the future, you should focus on building a diet plan around the goal of removing gluten from your diet. Gluten free meals can sometimes be hard to create, but with the substitutes available today, it won't be impossible. Find a gluten free cookbook for an easier way to cope. - 17268

Constipation Cure - 5 Tactics To Help Your Colon

By Peter Liddle

Suffering from constipation? Well most of us do erst in a while for some and frequently for others. What we will look at in this article is how you can get all the help you will need with constipation.

While this doesn't have on its own, you can try other methods to get the help that you may need for constipation. A lot of people who get constipated will let you know just how uncomfortable it is. There are many reasons why people are constipated.

1: Eating of fast foods and foods that lack loads of fiber.

This is the cause of the majority of constipation cases. Since this is a time of instancy, fast foods have become commonplace. A lot of people have no idea how to eat well.

As long as you can grab some sandwich, burger or fried chicken and the stomach feels full, all is well. Due to this, foods are not digested readily. All of the fiber required to promote bowel movements are nearly non-existent.

2: Not drinking enough liquids.

Recently people have not been drinking a lot of fluids, at least not the amount their bodies need. So when the feces reaches the rectum it soaks up what little moisture is left. It's difficult to pass stool with no obstructions because moisture is a necessary element of creating easy passage. That's why, when you're trying to eliminate the waste, a great effort is involved.

3: Living an inactive lifestyle.

People who don't take care of themselves physically, tend to easily develop constipation as a result of the fact they are not involved in any sort of exercise. One of the very first recommendations for those who need constipation help is exercise. The fact that you move around would improve your bowel movements and hasten the relief of constipation.

4: Hormonal shifts and changes could be an issue in some women.

Pressure on the intestine by the growing uterus and hormonal changes can cause women to suffer from constipation while pregnant. Now that you know a few of the causes lets move on and show you how you can get all of the constipation help you're likely to need.

Lots of fiber can be taken.

Fruits and veggies are a natural source of laxatives. The best way to get more fiber into your diet is to cut down on meat and dairy - which most Americans eat in excess - while at the same time eating larger quantities or fruits and veggies, both of which are high in fiber.

In some cases however, some individuals may find it hard to cope with the bulk of fruits needed. When this occurs, it is best that fiber supplements such as wheat bran, oat bran, psyllium seeds be added to the daily diet.

To make this routine easier, when you have the itch to grab a snack, pick a fruit instead and you're on your way to relief. The only downside to this method is if the patient has strictures and adhesions. In this circumstance, it is advisable to consult a physician before getting on in the treatment.

Some fibers include sugar which diabetic patients are unable to process. When this happens you should consume fibers which are free of sugar. Fibers should not be taken in large quantities suddenly. A small amount is best to begin with.

Then, if the patient thinks it's required, it can slowly increase. In fiber content a space of one week is adequate for each phase of increase. Fiber comes in all forms, the best sources though are fruit, veg, Citrucel, Konsyl Fiber, Maltsupex and other supplements. - 17268

Two Sample HCG Recipes

By Amelia Handley

Interest in the HCG program is rampant. It offers fantastic results. But one thing that most prospective dieters would like to see before they decide to go for it is the actual food that will be eaten while on the program. So...in response we're offering up two sample recipes for you to try before committing to the diet.

Sear your chicken with a dash of pepper, a dash of salt and a dash of garlic powder for a couple minutes on each side. Then put it in the casserole dish on top of the tomatoes. Immediately after adding the chicken, add your minced garlic. Toss all of the remaining ingredients in small bowl separately and then place over the top of the chicken in the casserole dish. Cover it and cook for 45 minute to an hour. It's best served warm so let it cool for 10 minutes or so before you eat!

The second HCG approved sample recipe is Turkey Tomato Soup
